Sleeping on couch.............................
OK I've got a subject for ya'll....a buddy of mine swears sleeping on a couch will ruin it, then yesterday my galfriend said something about her son sleeping on the couch so much was gonna ruin it, when I questioned her about it she said anytime a couch was slept on alot it would ruin it. I ask her specifically how would it ruin it and she couldn't pin it down. My buddy has never been able to give me an answer to how it would be ruined. Now to the bad part.....for the last 2 years of my marriage I slept on the couch, probably 3 or 4 nights out of the week, the only time I didn't was when I was working graveyard, then she was gone so I'd crash on the bed. Since my divorce (slept on the couch before the divorce cause all I got was griping out of her and didn't want to be near her, the only reason I stayed as long as I did was for my kids) I sleep on the couch most of the time.....feel more comfortable, makes you wonder about Pavlov's rats huh? Anyway said all that to ask this question....can anyone tell me how sleeping on the couch could ruin it? Later Whit

I think that's a load of something that I've hauled in my truck before... I am a bachelor (for the moment, anyway) and have worked nights for the last three years. Most times when I get home in the morning I turn on the TV to catch the news (MSNBC or FoxNews... not CNN), and I'll end up asleep on the couch for a few hours, then I wake up and either stay up or head to the bed. My couch is at least 20 years old, and while I can tell the difference between it and my 2 year old recliner, I don't think that my snoring has caused it any major damage.

I have seen couches that were broken down to the point of being form fitted to a body that slept on it nightly. This person didn't go shower and go back to the couch, just sleep in his clothes and body oder in one fell swoop.

My old lady has not been happy with me lately. Probably because I've been spending too much time on my Ranger. As punishment, I have been demoted to sleeping on the couch the past few nights. And I get the feeling it's going to be that way for a while. Now, on top of this your tellin' me I'm ruining the couch? That's all she needs to hear!

I think it depends on how the couch is made.

I would never sleep on the couch in my house. If she doesn't want to share a bed with me, she can sleep on the damn couch. I am never so mad I can't let somebody sleep next to me.
As for it ruining the couch, it'll probably outlast the relationship, so when it's over, treat yourself to a new couch that doesn't have her butt printed into it!

When I seen this post it made me laugh ! My woman works nights for 2 weeks out of the month . I sleep for that period on the couch !! We have a good couch and I get a better sleep on it then I do in bed . We`ve had that [couch]for about 8 years now and it shows no signs of sagging or sleep related failures . I started doing this because I would fall asleep on the couch and wake up and have to turn the TV off and so on and I`d be wide awake by the time I found the bed . Now I just toss our down comforter on the couch and nod off and get a great night`s sleep .

You all are going to think I'm insane.
We had a good couch and sleeping on it never bothered it. In fact guests who had stayed at our house would request the couch when they came back.
Now for the iffy part.
I love the outdoors. I love the cold night air. My wife does not like either. So one night I had had enough of a overly warm house. I went and got the sleeping bag and a couple of pillows and slept on the porch. Man, was that sweet. I liked it so much I did it several more times.
Can't do it very well where I'm at now but I enjoyed it then.

WOW, i thought i was the only guy who drank too much and woke up on a porch. guess i am not alone!!!!
just kidding. well, i have taken many naps out in the cool breeze after a long day of work, just having a few beers, grilling hot dogs, next thing i know a few hours have past while i was sleeping outside. the fresh air makes it ten-times better.
